Title: Shortage of train drivers - not just GWR Post by: grahame on July 29, 2019, 13:57:54 From The Standard (https://www.standard.co.uk/news/transport/hundreds-of-night-tube-services-on-piccadilly-line-late-because-there-is-no-driver-available-a4200386.html)
Quote Hundreds of trains on the Piccadilly line, including those on the Night Tube, are being delayed from entering service because no driver is available, it was claimed today. When a train is left without a driver it frequently takes two or more hours to find a replacement and get it back into passenger service. Staff claim the issue has a serious effect on Night Tube services. [continues] If GWR are short of a driver, that can mean a six hour gap in services at Melksham. How long a gap is there on the night tube if a driver is missing?
